Does any one know if that code 01996 would NOT be used for daily post op pain management ? the department I am in is using 01996 only for epidurals. if the doc placed some other block, they are using a 2 unit consult code for the daily mgmt. would that be correct?
 
CPT 01996-Daily hospital management of epidural or subarachnoid continuous drug administration
Notes:
(Report code 01996 for daily hospital management of continuous epidural or subarachnoid drug administration performed after insertion of an epidural or subarachnoid catheter)

64416 .
64446
64448
64449
These descriptors no longer include daily management. Postoperative daily visits will be eligible for separate reporting with an appropriate E&M (evaluation and management) code.
 
Guru do you know anything about 36556 with the 93503. it is coming against CCi edit. is there a modifier I am supposed to use? what about if they do 2 or more central lines(36556), it is coming against an edit.
